The Benefits of Breastfeeding After Age 1

If you're wondering if you HAVE to stop nursing just because your baby turned 1 the short answer is no you don't. Let your child self wean or you can gently wean him or her from nursing.Our youngest is almost 14 months and I am gently weaning him by removing one nursing session a month and replacing it with a cup of 2% milk. He's down to 2 - 3 sessions per day, so he should be completely weaned by the end of September.
